A Great Way to Get Started!

Come on, admit it! You've always wanted to fly an airplane.
We'll make that dream come true… for you or a loved one.



THE FLIGHT EXPERIENCE $450.00

Freedom, adventure, challenge, fun – flying will unlock a world of possibilities and give you unparalleled freedom to see the world. It is a truly unique experience—one of the last great adventures in our modern life. Getting into the air and taking your first flight is the most important step in this experience. There’s nothing like your first takeoff in an airplane to show you the fun and freedom of flying.

Sound interesting? Then the Flight Experience from Sporty’s Academy is for you.

The Flight Experience at Sporty’s will include an introduction to personal aviation that will include aircraft, opportunities, adventure and the community of general aviation. You’ll learn how to get started in your aviation journey and hear more about the benefits and safety of recreational flying.

For your first flight, you and your certified flight instructor will perform the time-honored tradition of the pre-flight inspection of the airplane. You’ll talk about some basic concepts and then takeoff on your 1-hour flight over the rolling hills of southwest Ohio and the picturesque Cincinnati skyline. You’ll sit in the captain’s seat, with your hands on the controls—you are flying!

The instructor will show you a normal takeoff, basic maneuvers (straight and level flight, turns, descents, etc.) and a normal landing. When you land, your instructor will make your first logbook entry. You’re now on your way to becoming a pilot.

Also included with the Flight Experience, is Sporty’s award-winning Complete Pilot Training Course for the Recreational pilot – a $115 value. This online course features real-world flight training – ground school, flight school and test preparation in one complete course. The course includes everything you need for your first 30 hours of flying including your first solo flight and the Recreational checkride. You'll also go home with souvenirs of the day's excitement and the foundation for becoming a pilot yourself. After all, we know you have the Right Stuff!
